Re: [boost] [gil] Ok to merge new gil's extension to release branch?

Hi Steven,

a) add zlib.jam etc. to Boost.Build. I can review and add them if you point me to where they come from.

You can find all jam files here: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/tools/build_extensions/ext I use: zlib.jam png.jam jpeg.jam libtiff.jam

b) in your Jamfile, attempt to auto-configure these libraries if they are not already configured.

I'm not sure what that means. A user has to point to the source code somehow. How should we do that? Using environmental variables?

c) in your Jamfile, test whether the libraries were successfully configured and take any appropriate action.

Again, how would you do that? Thanks for your help! Christian
